Question

I want to have chars and ints inside one array. What i am trying to do is have 1 to 9 in my array and the user selects which number to replace with the letter X. How can i have this done? I assume i cant pass chars into an array that is called as int array[8]; So is there a way to have both ints and chars in an array?

Answer 1

In c++ ints and chars are almost the same thing. They are both stored as numbers, just with different resolutions.

int array[2];
array[0] = 100;
array[1] = 'c';

printf("%d", array[0]) //Prints the number at index zero.

//Is it %c to print a char?
printf("%c", array[1]) //Prints the number at index zero as it's equivalent char.
